Dinner Confidential (Miami)

Dinner Confidential is a safe and inclusive space for womxn / female-identifying folk to listen to each other's stories with deep vulnerability and confidentiality. Our mission is to spark a deeper sense of belonging because when we really feel we belong, we gain the courage to make positive change in our lives and our world. 

Each month we investigate a different social topic globally (we are in over 22 cities around the world!) i.e.: Failure, Sexuality, Courage, etc. through intimate dinners and then share the learnings with our community. You can read our stories via Medium or our website.

Come join us! 

UPCOMING TOPICS

• JANUARY: Thursday, 23th "BELONGING" Dinner --> There are few things we need more in life than to feel like we truly belong. It's about feeling seen, accepted and loved for all that we are - even the dark, scary parts we'd rather hideaway. Belonging is a core human need that for many of us, never quite feels fulfilled, leaving us feeling isolated, untethered, anxious or hurt. Let's talk about belonging - with our families, our relationships, our communities, and with ourselves. What does feeling like "we belong" look like? What prevents us from feeling that way? And how can we promote a deeper sense of belonging in our lives?

• FEBRUARY: Thursday, 20th "HEALTH" Dinner --> Many of us take our health (physical, mental, emotional) for granted until something goes wrong— and when that happens, it becomes all consuming. When we are not healthy, we can feel fragile, weak and vulnerable. And at times, we can also feel strong and resilient. How can we transcend the deep fears we experience when we—or our loved ones—are not healthy? How can we develop more trust and acceptance? Let’s have an honest conversation about our health. How we deal with sickness (ours and others) and what gives us our strength back.

During our intimate dinners (7-10 max), our experienced hosts create a safe container for women to come together and talk with vulnerability and honesty about our most personal topics and emotions (e.g. self-confidence, fear, control).

After each dinner, we identify the key learnings and insights from the night and share them with our community so they, too, can benefit from the experience. You can read our stories via Medium or our website.

We are currently hosting dinners in over 22 cities around the world, including New York, Miami, Toronto, Portland, Caracas, Mumbai and Perth. New cities coming soon. Please get in touch if you'd like to attend a dinner in one of these cities. 

FAQs

Do attendees know each other?

• Sometimes. But usually, they don’t and that’s part of the magic. Coming into a place full of strangers to open up and share some of your most personal experiences is very powerful. No one there knows your history, you are a blank canvas. People won’t judge you or give you advice (unless you specifically ask for it). We are there to listen, share and connect.

Do I need to prepare for the Dinner?

• A little bit! Your host will send all the details of the night via email, including a few questions for you to reflect upon prior the Dinner. All Dinners start with an intimate set of introductions, where each guest shares her stories and is deeply heard.

How much are the dinners and what’s included?

• Dinners are $15 and they include a healthy and yummy meal. We invite our guests to bring one thing to drink (wine, flavored water, etc.). Note that we are NOT making any profit from these evenings and the fee only covers the cost.  However, if $15 is more than you can contribute at the moment please contact us via our website and we'll work it out :) 

Do the meals follow certain dietary guidelines? 

• Our hosts will always ensure there are vegetarian options available. If you have specific dietary restrictions, be sure to communicate with your host at least 1.5 weeks in advance.

How do you keep confidentiality?

• We include a vow of confidentiality in our invitation, and reiterate the importance of confidentiality at the start of each dinner. We create a strong container of trust and integrity and expect the same of all of our participants.  

What makes DC different from women’s circles?

• Our secret is our hosts and the stories we tell! Our dinners are led by professional moderators, researchers and facilitators all around the world. Brilliant women with years of experience conducting challenging conversations amongst diverse groups of people. We’re less about the woo-woo, and more about the raw, real and impactful conversations with tangible insights for our guests and community to take action and implement within their daily lives. 

What do you mean when you say “women”?

• Anyone that is female-identifying. Inclusivity is one of our core values! We welcome women of all ages, colors, religions and backgrounds. If you are male-identifying and would love to attend a dinner, let’s talk. 

What’s your cancellation policy?

• We put a lot of love and effort into these dinners so please do your best to avoid a last minute cancellation. If you need to cancel, try to find a replacement. All cancellations made less than one week in advance can’t be refunded.

What are my parking options?

There is free parking on the street in front of the house.
